First off, I apologize to my friends and roleplay partners who've been left hanging. Any desire to cancel old threads is completely understandable.

I've been struggling with a serious health issue the past several months. There was a long period where things would seem to improve only to relapse, delaying things further. All that aside, just wanted to let people know I'm around again and to contact me via PM or Trillian - ironsoldier, if anyone wants to get things going again.

Koji would start to stand up after the apparently endless 10 seconds spent in Akino's boston crab. But, even with the help of the ropes his legs felt like jello.

It was not good: Akino's strategy of keeping him weak and softened for the next round seemed to have paid its toll, and Koji could tell from her smug grin and teasing words that she knew exactely the effects caused by her latest maneuvre.

"uhhh... That's so nice of you... I promise to consider the offer very seriously...", the young male would say with a faint groan and a fatigued smile. "But meanwhile... let me try and gain one or two points myself, sounds fair?", he would add, trying not to try too much cemoralized at his current situation, as the bell rung starting the 3rd round.

Koji approached the middle of the ring feeling pain in his back with every step, but he still decided to go for the first move, as he tried to lunge forward and grapple Akino with a starting standing headlock. The bad part of his plan was that his movements were inevitably slowed by the effect of the penalty hold.

Akino chuckled at Koji’s comment as he sluggishly picked himself up off the mat. She had to admit, she was impressed that he could still be casual enough to smile and make jokes after what he’d been put through so far, though that certainly wouldn’t make her go any easier on him.

“By all means, earn them if you can. But you won’t be getting any freebies from me.” she replied with a grin. And as he started coming toward her, Akino took a few steps in his direction as well. He seemed to be so weakened now that finishing him off would just be a simple formality. But he still seemed to have more fight left in him than Akino had expected, as he suddenly lunged out and slung an arm around the maid’s head and neck.

“Ngh..” she grunted as the headlock was applied. His movement had been relatively slow, but Akino still hadn’t seen it coming, and thus she’d been trapped before she could effectively react. She threw a few punches into his stomach while putting her other hand against his back, and tried to take a few steps back to bring them into the ropes. From there, she’d then try to push off his back, hoping to send the boy running into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring.

"Hah, Gotcha!", Koji would grin wrenching the headlock and preparing to follow with a bulldog.

But it was too early to make plans for his next moves, because Akino had no intention to stay there and wait.

"Ugh..unghf..!". The girl's punches obtained the desired effect, having Koji loosen his grip and allowing her to slip out of the headlock.Pushed forward, the young Japanese was bounced by the ropes and forced into backpedaling to the middle of the ring. Not the safest place to go with as he was giving the back to the wrestling maid, who could see him come right into her waiting arms.

Akino was fortunate to have avoided the bulldog. And in doing so, she very well might’ve bought herself a rather nice opening.

As Koji came running back toward her, Akino extended an arm out in front of him while stepping to the side. Then when he got to her she attempted to latch her arm around his throat while spinning behind him, in hopes of catching the boy in a surprise sleeper hold!

Akino's movements were fluid and precise, allowing her to wrap her arm around the surprised Koji just like she had planned. "Nghh...!". Feeling the smooth yet uncomfortable pressure from the crook of her elbow under his chin, Koji would immediately try to move sidewards in order to get loose, but Akino countered it by sneaking behind him, preventing the boy's escape as she got herself into a better position to apply her sleeperhold.

"Gasp... n-no you won't..!", Koji's gurgling protest were followed by some erratic flailing of his arms as the wrestling maid started to lock her coiling arms around his head. A familiar scene for many wrestling fans, which frequently lead to have one of the contenders get docile and eventually take a nap in the arms of the other one.

Doing his best to fight the incoming panic and keep some straight thinking, the young male resolved to try and move forward, wishful to possibly reach the ropes. Needless to say, having Akino behind him trying to pull him backwards into her embrace represented a big risk of failure for his escape project.

Akino’s lips curled into a grin when she had her arms locked nice and tight around Koji’s head an neck, applying a sleeper hold. Predictably, the boy immediately began to thrash about, but the maid kept her arms securely locked in place.

“Oh yes I will.” she replied as she squeezed the life out of him with her arms. Her breasts pushed against his back, and her hips against his. The up and close contact of their bodies didn’t escape Akino’s attention, but she was much more concerned about putting Koji to sleep again and getting some more points for herself. Though of course, Koji clearly wasn’t as keen on the idea as Akino.

As he reached out and started trying to move toward the ropes, the one-eyed maiden was dragged along with him. Or at least, at first. But after he’d taken a few steps, Akino placed a boot against the back of one of Koji’s knees and pushed to try to unsteady him, and simultaneously fell backward in hopes of pulling him down on top of her while keeping the sleeper in place. If she could get him down, her legs would then immediately wrap themselves around his torso to apply a body scissor as well, turning the sleeper hold into a rear naked choke!

Koji could feel the uncomfortably pleasurable pressure from Akino's soft breasts, as well as his warm breathing against his ear as she teasingly spoke to him. Like for Akino if not more, the suggestive rubbing and squirming of their struggling bodies could not leave him indifferent, but the dangers of being in a tight sleeperhold had his primary attention.

With each squeezing of her elbows toawards each others he could feel the increasing pressure instantly produce a wave of numbness start from his head to then wash down his body. It was not really painful... but that would just make it more insidious, craving his dulling mind and tired limbs to just relax. To which, he knew he had to react.

And, just when he had managed to advance a few steps towards the ropes, Koji would feel his knees bucking to Akino's countermeasure, letting him fall from the frying pan right into the fire, namely Akino's leggy coils.

"G-Gasp.... no..! nghhhfff....", The boy's desperate protests would be soon turned into a huffing groan, as her beautifully shaped legs started to squeeze his waist, pressing the air out of his lungs while the sleeper kept draining awareness from his reeling head.

More frantic squirmings would follow from Koji's part, but he seemed to be nice and tight into the double embrace of Akino's legs and arms now, the strenght behind his efforts sensibly vanishing with each new second of his fruitless struggle.

To Koji’s credit, he had started to make good progress in moving toward the ropes even with Akino choking the life out of him. But once she managed to bring him down to the mat, it seemed his efforts had been wasted.

“Nice try. But you’re not going anywhere.” she said through a grin while squeezing his neck and torso with her arms and legs. Akino continued to keep the pressure on for several moments, then released the pressure just enough to allow Koji to start taking in a breath, only to squeeze down as tightly as she could once again with the rear naked choke. Over and over she repeated the process, hoping to drain every last bit of air out of his body until he either submitted or passed out.

Speaking of which, the ref was once again right there by the trapped boy, checking to see if he wanted to tap.

Being trapped in Akino's alternated squeezes felt for poor koji like being in the lethal embrace of a constrictor snake....or better said, a tauntingly sensual constrictress-snake girl.

Each time she gave him time and room for a short breath, only to them reapply the squeeze around his head and body, so that she could methodically drain his strenght and stamina letting him fruitlessly struggle for a longer time... and dulling his mind in the process too.

"Nghff.....nnfffhhh...ngff....". Such 'snakely embrace' was certainly paying its toll, as the wrestling maid could tell from the faint, increasingly meek groans released from Koji with each new sensual constriction. "Ngghh.... n-no way....I don't give...nnn...up..", the boy would shake his head (for the little room allowed), with stubborn, yet amusingly groggy resilience.

His mind could refuse the idea, but his body was starting to relax in Akino's embrace already. Tired, Koji's hands were slipping down along Akino's sides. If he couldn't find some weakness in her hold, he was doomed to go nighty night in her choking coils soon.

To Koji’s credit, the boy was putting on quite a display of toughness by refusing to submit. Akino felt more than confident that she had her next set of points in the bag as her arms and legs continued to squeeze the life out of Koji. But despite his defiance, it quickly became apparent to Akino that he wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

“Not giving up, huh? Fine by me. In that case, I hope you’re ready to take another nap.” the maid taunted with a grin, then cranked up the pressure of her hold and constricted against Koji as tightly as she possibly could. And this time Akino maintained the pressure, seeking to drain the last bits of energy out of Koji in hopes of knocking him out for a second time in this bout.

The ref was still on hand, but she wasn’t just checking for a submission anymore. Now she was also waiting to see if Koji was going to go to sleep in the hold.
